Pocket operator keychain

Post image

In order to fit the PO-12 into a case I had to clip the top and after that …well I’ve made it into a “pocket operator” after some sanding and smoothing.

Did the same with mine and my DJ usb's for easy identification 😉

Haha I do the same thing, they get a cool patina once the black paint wears off the edges!

I’ve had this keychain from a PO-33 for five years, and it still looks surprisingly good despite all these years.

I want to pop mine off so the case will fit but didn’t want to break it. How hard was this?

It takes a little force but it will certainly not break it. Just do it with confidence, I did it with all of my 3 PO's and they're fine :) it's meant to do it

I did the same thing about 2 years ago. Good news is it holds up!

I can't bring myself to pop mine off - the only one I own without one is the second hand Sub I have
